METHOD OF CREATING AND REPRODUCING A PANORAMIC SOUND IMAGE, AND APPARATUS FOR REPRODUCING SUCH AN IMAGE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for creating and reproducing a panoramic sound image. Initially, a plurality of images associated with sound sequences are available, these images are for example captured with the aid of a photographic apparatus, the latter having recorded the ambient sound at the moment of capture. The ambient sound is then filtered so as to retain only the stationary component. Next, the images are concatenated to form a single so-called "panoramic" image, each sound sequence being associated with a part of the panoramic image containing the image associated with this sequence. Finally, commands are introduced to display parts of the panoramic image. The command also makes it possible to continually reproduce the stationary component of at least one sound content associated with at least one displayed part of the panoramic image. According to an improvement, the sound sequence is reproduced permanently until a new command is introduced. The invention also relates to a reproduction apparatus making it possible to reproduce the panoramic image and a sound sequence.
